I have been thinking of adding some Quarter window louvers (NOT Scoops) but there are so many to choose from.

ROUSH
DG Custom
MMD/AM
SHR
Ford Factory

I know the SHR ones are UBER popular....but like most of the others they have about 5 slots. I really like the Roush ones cause they only have 3, but still undecided.

Then there are the mounting styles where some mount to the window and others to the sail panel around the window!

POST your PICS of your louvers!

These are Ford OEM. These are removable for cleaning. I'm very happy with them. Good luck finding the right set for you.

Whoa, they remove for cleaning? I have the same Ford OEM ones on mine, and I didn't know they came off. How do I go about that?

They are put on with 3M Velcro.
I just got a set of Black OEM Ford for my Sterling Gray, now to find the tape locally

Silver horse louvers are great ! They are more work to install but they don't look tacked on. I like exterior mods that are integrated and look like they belong there.

I think Ford nailed it with factory. Others I've seen are too flashy and just don't flow with the car. The only other one I saw that I liked was one that was flush with the box and didn't stick out but that required removing the window.

Thanks all, I was totally unaware! Not sure how I'd missed it, but I'm glad I know now!

I love my silver horse racing ones.. I think they look the best because they are flush.

Looks great...cpl quistions:

1. Are those the pre painted ones from ROUSH, if so hows the color match?
2. Any issue with them adhearing to the car with the 3m tape? Sturdy enough you think?

Thanks

Thats the only style I would consider. Flush with the body of the car.

I love the look of the SHR, but they require some interior "modding" I've heard. On my 2010 I have the factory louvers, I've read a number of times they are velcro'd on but I don't dare yank on them to find out.

not of much help but i like these alot and plan on getting them. Since i was going to tint that window anyway i figure this would look nice. Haven't seen anyone with them around here though.
